Radio is expected to be installed on freight trains throughout the country, and the engineer sighting one of these “passengers” can im- mediately notify fellow trainmen in the caboose as the train speeds along. This will be an incidental service, however, and is not the motive behind the request of the American Railway assoclation for a band 144 kilocycles wide in the short wave field from 2250 to 2,750 kilocycles. Engineers of the assoclation told the Federal Radio Commis- sion that recent experiments have shown ‘short waves can be used suceessfully in train communica- tion without interfering with other radfo services. They elaim the ser- vice range of the frain apparatus is limited to about five miles and the interference range is but 10 ‘miles. This would. permit the, assignment to the railroads, they sgy, of channels shared by other Cpt, S. C. Hooper, of the Navy, téehnical advisor to the commis- slon, says he probably will recom~ mend the assignment of five or #ix channels as the low pewered train apparatus with negligible in- terference obviates the problem . shortage of short wave - chan- > 400 .200 ! pursues it | Repu | count { | The question of money because the job only pays $1,000 a year {didn't stop John D.
